Associate Planner MacMorran presented the staff report per the agenda material. The property is consistent with both zoning and General Plan designations. She shared the property’s parking and landscaping plans and stated that the developer will replace the dilapidated sidewalk.

As there were no questions for staff, Mayor Uphoff opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.

Bill Lockwood, Lomita resident, expressed concerns about the project due to insufficient stormwater drainage on 253rd Street, which leaves his yard flooded at times.

Joseph Jurado, Lomita resident, commented via email which was read by Mr. Lockwood.

Mr. Jurado expressed concerns about insufficient drainage and inadequate street parking in the area.

Rogena Waialae-Wightman, Lomita resident, also expressed concerns relative to drainage inadequacies in that area, as her driveway and yard have experienced four floods in the last twenty years.

George Kivett spoke in support of the project.

Joe Gonzalez, Lomita resident, expressed concerns about possible drainage issues at the project site and suggested a retention tank be installed.

As there were no further requests to speak on this item, Mayor Uphoff closed the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. and brought the item back for Council discussion.

Director Rindge stated that drainage issues were discussed by the Planning Commission prior to their recommendation of approval to the Council. This project will be reviewed extensively and studies will be done prior to Council final map approval. Conditions of approval will reflect any additional requirements found to be necessary and studies will include public infrastructure related issues as well.

Brief Council discussion took place relative to drainage concerns and existing such problems in that area, and receiving assurances that they will be addressed by the developer. Other concerns discussed included the number of proposed units on the lot and potential street parking challenges.

Associate Planner MacMorran clarified that approval of the vesting tentative tract map merely gives the developer assurance to move forward with the required studies and does not guarantee approval of the final tract map. There are specific conditions relative to stormwater as part of the resolution, and a soils report is also required prior to the final map hearing.

Director Rindge stated that a study could demonstrate that nine units are not feasible on the property. Tonight’s approval would not allow for any construction. Additional language is not warranted now, as stormwater/flooding issues are addressed in the Conditions of Approval, including in the form of the LID (low impact development) checklist. Such standards are also part of the City’s Municipal Code, and the State’s own requirements.

Approved the following titled resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-05 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 83968 TO ALLOW A 39,428 FT2 LOT TO SUBDIVIDE INTO A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL

DEVELOPMENT WITH NINE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND ONE COMMON LOT AT 2418 253rd STREET (APN: 7373-016-056) WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL, NONCOMMERCIAL (A-1) ZONE AND FINDING THE PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). FILED BY LORENZO SCHIAPPA OF LUIGI SCHIAPPA DEVELOPMENT AT 2040 LOMITA BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, LOMITA CA 90717
b. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 74138 TO AMEND PHASE 2 OF A MIXED-USE PROJECT CONSISTING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF 16 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITH A TOTAL OF 39 PARKING SPACES LOCATED AT 24516 NARBONNE AVENUE

WITHIN THE D-C (DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL) ZONE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing and concur with the Planning Commission’s recommendation and adopt a resolution to amend Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 74138 to amend Phase 2 of a mixed-use project consisting of the development of 16 residential units with a total of 39 parking spaces located at 24516 Narbonne Ave and recommending exemption finding from the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA).

Director Rindge presented the staff report per the agenda material. She gave the project background, and stated that this item is back before Council based on complaints from people who use the alley who are worried about losing that space. In addition, the City’s Public Works Department discovered a complicated utilities situation onsite which makes the alley vacation virtually impossible.

It was initially required for the developer to build 16 units and staff had rounded down to add more acreage to the project, but based on subsequent research Lomita City Code does not specify whether to round up or down on units, but the State and Lomita’s Code require rounding up when it comes to density bonus in particular. Therefore, for consistency, the project was allowed 16 units without alley involvement.

As there were no questions for staff, Mayor Uphoff opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.

As there were no requests from the public to speak on this item, Mayor Uphoff closed the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. and brought the item back to the Council for discussion.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Final Map for Tract Map No. 74138.

Director Rindge presented the staff report per the agenda material. This is the same project as in item 7b, but this item is recommending approval of the final map. The resolution is recommended to remain the same as previously adopted, except for the addition of the following condition: “The Developer shall submit right-of-way improvement plans to be reviewed and approved by the City’s Public Works Department. The improvements shall be installed and pass inspection prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy of any unit within Phase 2 of the project.” Councilmember Gazeley left the dais at 7:54 p.m. and returned at 7:55 p.m.

As there were no questions for staff, Mayor Uphoff opened the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.

George Kivett expressed support for the project.

Director Ringed stated that the intention to vacate went back to the Planning Commission in 2022 but the alley was never actually vacated, and no such agreement was ever actually executed; the Council merely approved a declaration of intention to vacate based upon the Planning Commission recommendation.

Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONSULTANT’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSULTANT shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *40

Page 4 of 11 ends

attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.

CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 18, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees.

Page 5 of 11 ends

18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONSULTANT, at CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSULTANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSULTANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *42

Page 6 of 11 ends

time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *43

Page 7 of 11 ends

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT’S behalf upon CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.

20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.

Page 8 of 11 ends

CONSULTANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Interim Public Works Director MEETING DATE: July 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers for Construction Management Services related to the Cypress Facility Upgrades

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Second Amendment to Agreement 2020-18 with AKM Consulting Engineers for construction management services related to the Cypress Facility Upgrades project increasing the contract amount by $29,530, for a total contract amount not to exceed $542,556; and Authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment.

BACKGROUND
The City operates several water production and treatment facilities that form the City’s water system. These include the Cypress Water Production Facility (CWPF), Harbor Hills Storage Tank, multiple import water connections, and a pump station. Historically, the CWPF provided a mixture of treated groundwater and imported surface water to Pressure Zone 1 (portion of the City north of Pacific Coast Highway); however, the CWPF was taken off-line in May 2019 due to the detection of benzene at the City’s only well. Since that time, City has been importing 100 percent of its water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD).

The City had long been planning for the addition of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to improve the aesthetic qualities of Lomita’s water and began the design process in late 2017. The GAC will not only remove constituents that affect aesthetic qualities such as taste and odor, but also removes benzene and is considered the best available technology. Following the detection of benzene, the design of the GAC system required the addition of two more GAC vessels to ensure complete removal of benzene.

In May 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with the Water Replenishment District (WRD) under the Safe Drinking Water Program (SDWP) to authorize the use of

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7e
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *56
2 up to $2,000,000 in SDWP grant funds for the project.

On July 21, 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers to provide construction management and inspection services for the project.

On April 4, 2023, the City Council approved the first amendment to the agreement to increase the contract amount by $38,600.

DISCUSSION
The project is close to completion however some punch list items remain outstanding.

These items mainly have to do with the integration work for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system which is used for controlling, monitoring, and analyzing the water system status in addition to enabling remote access to this information and onsite gathering of data from the reservoir.

AKM Consulting Engineers will primarily continue to provide technical support and inspection during the SCADA work leading up to project closeout. Staff is recommending approving a second amendment to further increase the contract amount by $29,530.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Second Amendment will add $29,530 to the authorized contact amount, bringing the total contract amount to an amount not to exceed $542,556.00. This Amendment is budgeted in the Water Capital Projects Fund for the Cypress Water Production Upgrades project.

The City expects a reimbursement of $2,000,000 through the WRD grant following the completion of the project in accordance with the approved reimbursement agreement.

OPTIONS

1. Provide staff with further direction.

2. Approve the attached resolutions as recommended.

PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Interim Public Works Director MEETING DATE: July 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. for Lomita Water System Improvements Project - NEPA Support

RECOMMENDATION
Approval to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. for National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) Support Services for the Lomita Water System Improvements Project in the amount of $33,001.08, plus a 20% contingency amount of $6,600.22 for a total contract amount of $39,601.30.

BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita was awarded Congressional Community Project funds in Fiscal Year 2022 for the Lomita Water System Improvements Project. This project was listed in the State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) list of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117-103). Congresswoman Maxine Waters advocated for these funds on behalf of the City.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awards and administers this federal funding. As a condition of receiving federal funding, a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental review of the project and its impacts is required.

The City provides the project information to the EPA who performs the environmental review. The services of qualified environmental and archaeological professionals are needed to prepare the necessary documents for EPA review.

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7g
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *66
2 DISCUSSION
This project is being designed and constructed under the project names of Narbonne South Water Main Replacement Project and Zone G Water Main Replacement Project and includes the replacement of water mains along portions of Narbonne Avenue, Walnut Street, Ebony Lane, and 247th Place.

Because the project is funded by federal funds, an environmental review must be conducted under the standards of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). To complete the necessary documentation for the NEPA review for this project, a firm specializing in environmental and archaeological studies is needed for the following services:
• State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) consultation in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) • Consultation with US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
• Outreach to any tribes with interests in the area.

Rincon Consultants, Inc. is one of the City’s approved consulting firms to provide asneeded Environmental, Archaeological and Historical Services. Staff recommends the selection of Rincon Consultants, Inc. to perform these services based on their qualifications and experience.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City received $940,000 in Congressional funding for the design and construction of the Lomita Water System Improvements Project, which requires a 20% cost share by the City. The Agreement for NEPA Support consultation services requested in this phase of the project is $39,601.30 (Attachment). Based on these fees, sufficient funds are available within the anticipated grant designated for this project.

OPTIONS

1. Approve staff’s recommendation.

submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractors that affect CONTRACTOR’S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONTRACTOR caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.

CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.

C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONTRACTOR certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.

EXHIBIT A
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *81

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
This Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit a proposal for a consulting firm to complete environmental and historical research for the Lomita Water System Improvements Project – NEPA Support. You are receiving this RFP because your firm is on the City of Lomita’s List of Best Qualified Firms to Provide As-Needed Consulting Services for Environmental, Archaeological and Historical Services.

The City has received a Federal Community Grant for the Lomita Water System Improvements Project. EPA awards and administers this federal funding. As a condition of receiving federal funding, a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental assessment of the project and its impacts is required.

The City must provide EPA with background documentation for the NEPA environmental assessment. Because this is a water main replacement project, the City anticipates that this project will qualify for a Categorical Exemption. The City must provide documentation to verify the claims in the Categorical Exemption. This includes Section IV.A of the Categorical Exemption and Extraordinary Circumstances Review Form. In addition, the EPA has given the City authorization to initiate consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Officer (see attached NHPA Authorization Letter), to perform tribal consultation, and to address Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to this project.

SCOPE OF WORK
The Consultant shall assign a project manager that will serve as the point of contact and coordinate all communication with City of Lomita staff. The Consultant must provide an experienced team that has knowledge and understanding of the specific project tasks, relevant federal, state, and county standards, as well as other industry standards and appropriate application.

The Consultant shall coordinate a kick-off meeting with Lomita staff to review details of the project scope of work. In addition to the kick-off meeting, the Consultant shall plan for sufficient meetings with Lomita staff to complete the project and keep the City informed.

The project tasks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Categorical Exclusion Instructions and Checklist
Categorical exclusions (CATEXs) are categories of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. CATEXs applicable to EPA actions are listed at 40 C.F.R. § 6.204(a).

Determining a project’s eligibility for a CATEX is the first step in the environmental review process. As part of the CATEX determination, EPA determines whether there are any extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the project from being eligible for a CATEX. If the proposed project is eligible for a CATEX and no extraordinary circumstances are involved, no further NEPA review is required.

Recipients who believe their project may qualify for a CATEX, should work with EPA—preferably early in the project design stage—to provide sufficient information for EPA to make that determination early in the NEPA environmental review process. EPA has developed a checklist to determine if a project qualifies for a CATEX. You may use this checklist as a tool to assess your project’s potential eligibility for a CATEX and to understand what types of information are needed by EPA to support the CATEX determination.

The types of information that recipients should gather and submit to support the CATEX determination include, but may not be limited to, the following:
1) Detailed description of the project and/or preliminary engineering report along with any site plan showing the project location and its construction footprint (area of disturbance in acreage or square footage, etc.).

Documents should clearly describe the project, including pipe sizes and lengths, pump specifications, etc. 2) City or regional maps that show the project in relation to the local area and help demonstrate the physical extent of the project.
3) Documentation of coordination or concurrence from the applicable federal cross-cutter environmental agencies.

The grant applicant should coordinate with EPA to determine the applicability of federal cross-cutters since EPA may need to participate or take the lead in compliance with these cross-cutters as the federal action agency. For CATEXs, this potentially includes, but is not limited to, those listed below:
a. State’s Historical Preservation Office (obtained through National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 consultation),
b. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service (obtained through Endangered Species Act informal consultation),
c. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (obtained through coordination with the appropriate District Office and through permit reviews),
d. other cross-cutter federal agencies as appropriate.
4) A description of the project need (including: the need the project will address; whether the project will address a local problem or emergency; whether the project is being pursued in response to a compliance order). 5) A description of the environmental impact(s) (both construction and operational impacts). Impacts may be both beneficial and adverse.
6) A description of associated measures to avoid, minimize or compensate for impacts including any Best Management Practices (BMPs) and/or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), etc. Provide adequate supporting references and citations.
7) Explain whether the project will be funded by other state or federal agencies. If environmental reviews are required by other state or federal agencies, explain whether they have been started or not. Briefly describe additional funding and applicable environmental reviews. 8) Explain whether project construction has begun. If yes, describe activities and percent of project completed.

EPA will independently review the information provided, including that within the following checklist, and will determine whether a project is eligible for a CATEX. If EPA finds that a project meets the qualifications for a CATEX, EPA will prepare a CATEX determination.

V. NEPA Review Determination and Responsible Official Signature (EPA Use Only) Sections I through IV must be completed to satisfy EPA’s documentation requirements for CATEX eligibility. If completion of this form indicates that a CATEX does apply, the Responsible Official must sign below.

Categorical Exclusion Determination. EPA finds that the proposed action is eligible for exclusion from detailed environmental review under 40 CFR § 6.204(a)(1), and will not involve any of the extraordinary circumstances delineated under 40 CFR § 6.204(b)(1) through (b)(10). Consequently, EPA will not prepare an environmental impact statement or an environmental assessment for the proposed project. EPA may revoke this categorical exclusion if changes in the proposed action render it ineligible for exclusion or if new evidence emerges which indicates that serious local or environmental issues exist or federal, state, or local laws would be violated.

As the Responsible Official, I have determined that this action is eligible for a Categorical Exclusion per the substantive environmental review requirements under EPA regulations at 40 CFR § 6.204. Section III.C of this form has been completed providing the required Extraordinary Circumstances Statement.

Signature of Responsible Official Title Date

 Identify if consultation is being initiated for a new undertaking or if continuing consultation on an ongoing undertaking that has had previous Section 106 review. If the latter, provide copies of previous letters to SHPO and responses received if there was a break or lapse in the consultation.

If providing more information related to a submittal already sent to the SHPO, provide the OHP reference number if available.
 Identify if consulting directly under 36 CFR 800 (the regulations implementing Section 106), under a PA or MOA, or if the consultation is being coordinated with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

If consulting under an agreement document, indicate the document’s name and date, and, if applicable, the specific stipulation.
 Provide the name of the undertaking, street address (if applicable), city, and county.

Indicate the name the agency is using to identify the undertaking and its location. Include street address and city if those are applicable to the location. If the undertaking crosses into more than one city and/or county, list all cities and counties associated with the undertaking’s location.
 Indicate if the federal agency has begun its review process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and whether there are scope and schedule implications for complying with Section 106.

Note: If there are questions regarding complying with 36 CFR 800.8(c), contact the OHP reviewer assigned to the consulting agency and see NEPA and NHPA: A Handbook for Integrating NEPA and Section 106.

Section II: Contact Information
 Provide the name of the federal agency responsible for the undertaking, and the agency representative’s contact information. Include full contact information (i.e., the representative’s name, mailing and street addresses, phone number, and email address).

Note: Every undertaking has a federal funding, licensing, or permitting agency. If you do not know your federal agency or the contact person, contact the party that is requiring you to request Section 106 consultation to obtain this information.

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist  If other federal agencies are involved, explain roles and responsibilities, specifically which Agency will serve as lead for Section 106 compliance and any other consultation those Agencies might have performed.
 If your agency/organization has been delegated responsibility for consultation by a federal agency, provide a letter of delegation from the agency. Obtain this letter before initiating consultation with OHP.
 If applicable, provide the state agency name and information regarding the contact person at that agency. Include full contact information (i.e., the representative’s name, mailing and street addresses, phone number, and email address).  If this consultation request is part of a grant program, include the name of the program.

For example, Land and Water Conservation Fund (under the National Park Service), Regional Trails Program (under the Federal Highway Administration), etc.  If different from the contact people referenced above, provide information regarding the contact person for this specific consultation request. Include full contact information (i.e., the representative’s name, mailing and street addresses, phone number, and email address).

Section III: Description of Undertaking and Area of Potential Effects (APE)  Provide a detailed, narrative Project Description, including project schedule if known.

Describe in narrative form all the work that will be undertaken (plans, specifications, environmental documents, etc., are helpful but should be used to supplement, not replace, this description). Be sure to identify the undertaking’s purpose (in brief), acreage, and location. Include any information about building removals, rehabilitation, and landscape alterations such as sidewalk or tree removals. The project description should include enough detail to fully communicate the action, especially with regard to its potential effects on historic properties. Include any known information about the anticipated project schedule. It is acceptable to reference specific pages in attached technical reports that provide additional project details, however the narrative that is submitted must contain sufficient enough information to understand the project and its potential to affect historic properties.

Note: The federal agency is mandated to assess the effects that an undertaking may have on historic properties only. Economic benefits and/or impacts to the natural and social environment are not relevant unless these bear some connection to the effects on historic properties.
 Provide a Project Location Map depicting where the undertaking is located within the state.
 Provide a narrative APE Description. [36 CFR Part 800.4(a)(1)] Note: All federal undertakings have an APE. The APE is defined in 36 CFR 800.16(d) as “the geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist. The area of potential effects is influenced by the scale and nature of an undertaking and may April 2020 2
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *93

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist be different for different kinds of effects caused by the undertaking.” In most instances, the APE is not simply the undertaking’s physical boundaries or right-of-way.

Include the horizontal and vertical extents of proposed work (including ancillary and support locations such as staging and lay down areas, access routes, borrow and disposal areas, and mitigation parcels), a description of the steps taken to identify the APE, and a justification for the APE boundaries chosen. The APE should also take indirect effects into account (e.g., visual and auditory effects, land use changes, traffic patterns, public access, etc.). The indirect APE should be clearly described. The APE can be modified through consultation as project refinements are made and exact locations and dimensions of all project components become known. It may be prudent to start with a study area early in project planning that is later refined to an APE for consultation with SHPO.  Provide an APE Map on a 7.5-minute USGS topographic quad, aerial imagery, or another map showing the APE in appropriate detail and scale. More than one map may be necessary.

Ensure the map(s) clearly outlines the APE and depicts and labels all project elements discussed in the project description. Whatever type of map(s) is submitted, it needs to adequately portray the APE so that the extent of the APE as well as the location of all items discussed in the project description can be clearly understood. Consistency in mapping formats used is highly advisable.

For example,

1. If no properties or resources are present, the project’s APE map should simply be of sufficient scale to document the APE.

2. Or, if properties or resources are present (regardless of their potential significance for the National Register), the project’s APE should be projected on aerial photos and be of sufficient scale (1 inch=200 feet is preferred) and have enough project detail to demonstrate the relationship of historic properties to the APE. This is especially important in order to document a finding of No Historic Properties Affected or a finding of No Adverse Effect. The map(s) should clearly show the APE, the location of all properties discussed, the boundaries of any eligible or listed historic properties, and the boundaries of any protection zones such as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), if applicable. If any part of a property may be affected, the APE should encompass the entire property, including the reasonably anticipated or known boundaries of archaeological sites. When dealing with large landscapes, extensive functional systems, large historic districts, or long linear features, please contact the SHPO reviewer for further guidance on level of effort for identification and assessment of effect.

All maps and aerial photographs should include a scale, a North arrow, and clear labels and legend.

If using a USGS map that does not clearly show the name of the USGS quadrangle as well as the Township Number, Range, and Section number(s), include this information.

Information can be found on the USGS quadrangle website.

Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *94

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist Ensure that lines used are of sufficient weight and color to clearly delineate boundaries of sites from the background map and the APE boundary.
 Request the SHPO’s comments on the adequacy of the APE for the undertaking.

Section IIIA: Ground-Disturbing Activity
Note: Ground-disturbing activities include excavation, grading, tree removal and planting, utility installation, etc.

If the undertaking involves ground-disturbing work:
 Provide a map of an appropriate scale to depict the potential historic properties in relationship to all ground-disturbing activity.

Like with the APE map, this map needs to be of sufficient scale to allow the extent (horizontal and vertical) and location(s) of proposed ground-disturbing activities to be clearly understood.
 Describe, in narrative form, the proposed length, width, and maximum depth of ground-disturbing activity.

For example, “The proposed trench line will be 20 feet long, 3 feet wide, 5 feet deep.”
 Describe the current and previous use(s) of the land and any known previous ground disturbances, including depth of disturbance.

If previous ground disturbance is used to determine an absence of archaeological resources in areas subject to project effects (vertical APE), provide supporting evidence for the determination, such as indicating the area has imported landfill, there was prior grading to below depth of project effects or into strata predating prehistoric occupation, etc.

Section IV: Identification of Historic Properties
Note: Historic properties are defined at 36 CFR Part 100.16(I)(1) as properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The agency is responsible for making a reasonable and good faith effort to carry out appropriate identification efforts, which may include background research, consultation, oral history interviews, field investigations, and field surveys. The California Historical Resources Information System’s Information Centers maintain an inventory of listed and previously identified cultural resources; however, simply conducting a records search at one of these centers does not fulfill the responsibility to identify historic properties. The OHP does not conduct research.  Describe the archival research conducted in order to identify historic properties. [36 CFR 800.4(a)(2)] Attach evidence of having completed a records search at the appropriate Regional Information Center(s) and provide a summary and analysis of the results of that search that informed the methods used during the identification process. Please note it is April 2020 4
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *95

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist not necessary to attach copies of all results of the records search except when relying upon those reports to support specific conclusions.

It is recommended that identification efforts include a recent (not more than two years old) CHRIS records search (visit our Accessing the CHRIS Inventory webpage) in addition to research through other sources as appropriate to the undertaking’s scale and location (e.g., historic maps and documents). More recent information should be included if there have been major impacts to the landscape in which the undertaking is located (e.g., development, fire, flooding, quarrying, etc.). Justification should be provided for using a records search older than two years. Provide dates of construction for any buildings or structures in the APE.
 Describe Native American consultation conducted and efforts to identify Native American resources. [36 CFR Part 800.4(a)(4)]
Agencies should obtain a list of Native American contacts from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). To do so, provide the NAHC with an APE and project description, as well as locational information comparable to that discussed in Section III above. The NAHC uses a Sacred Lands File and Native American Contacts List Request Form for this purpose. It is strongly advised that all contacts identified by the NAHC be included in consultation, regardless of whether the group is federally recognized. [36 CFR 800.2(c)(5)]
Agencies should conduct Tribal consultation prior to initiating the Section 106 review process with the SHPO to ensure that tribal comments are taken into consideration during the review process and to identify properties of religious or cultural significance to tribes.

If a standardized form letter was used to contact multiple parties, only one example of the letter should be attached. Additionally, provide a list of all the groups contacted by the agency. Letters to tribes or interested Native American individuals are adequate for the initial contact, but should be followed by telephone, email, or other reasonable and appropriate attempts to engage responses. The submittal should discuss meetings held with tribes and any studies that resulted from consultation or other outcomes. Attach a consultation log if one was prepared.

Summarize responses received and describe the agency’s response to all comments.

Explain how the Agency incorporated information obtained through the consultation process into determinations and findings.

For more information about consulting with Native American tribes, see the ACHP Training and Guidance for Indian Tribes, Native Hawaiian Organizations, and Federal Agencies webpage.
 Describe consultation conducted with other consulting parties (such as representatives of local governments, project applicants, and additional consulting parties) and the public pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.2(c)(3-5) and Part 800.2(d). Attach copies of correspondence to and from such agencies, organizations, and individuals. [36 CFR Part 800.4(a)(3)] Summarize responses received and describe the agency’s response to all comments.

Explain how the Agency incorporated information obtained through the consultation process into determinations and findings.

April 2020 5
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *96

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist  Identify any previously recorded historic properties. [36 CFR Part 800.4(a)(2)] Indicate whether SHPO concurred on previous eligibility determinations and provide copies of that correspondence. If correspondence is not available, provide the date of concurrence, the project name, and the agency who initially evaluated the resource.  Describe the survey work completed to identify historic properties. [36 CFR Part 800.4(b)(1)] Discuss, for example, any field surveys, excavation, building surveys, etc.

Monitoring is not a substitute for making a reasonable level of effort in identification.

Architectural surveys may need to be updated if they are more than five years old to ensure the identification efforts reflect the current state of the resources. Archaeological property surveys less than two years old may require updating if there have been changes to the landscape such as fire, flooding, landslides, etc. All resources should be reexamined to update site integrity and obtain sufficient information to assess project effects.

If the identification and evaluation efforts will be based on older surveys (occurred more than two years ago), the agency should provide justification for why those results remain valid.

Archaeological survey reports must explain the field methodology used and a reference to the state and/or federal standards under which the survey was conducted. Specify whether the survey was a pedestrian surface survey, a windshield survey, etc. Pedestrian surveys should be conducted using transects of 15 meters or less. If this was not possible due to topography or vegetation, discuss what the restrictions were and efforts to facilitate identification. Also include the percentage of surface visibility during the survey.

If visibility was poor, discuss actions taken to adapt identification efforts (e.g., raking surface leaves or vegetation at intervals along transects). If an archaeological field-survey was not completed, provide an explanation as to why it was determined unnecessary.

Maps depicting areas surveyed, degree of survey coverage (e.g., intensive, reconnaissance), survey methods and strategies or phases of work are helpful, as are photographs depicting the conditions of the APE at the time of the survey.  Provide a site location map that depicts the location of all historic properties and isolated finds identified within the APE. The map can be included as a confidential appendix to the main body of a report.
 Apply the “Criteria for evaluation” found at 36 CFR 60.4 to evaluate the potential eligibility of identified resources for listing on the NRHP and provide substantive evidence of Determinations of Eligibility (DOEs) for each property evaluated (the DPR 523 form, or an appropriate agency form, may be used to provide this evidence). [36 CFR Part 800.4(c)] DOEs should demonstrate that all four of the Criteria for Evaluation found at 36 CFR Part

60.4 have been applied in reference to an appropriate historic context and the historic integrity of the property assessed. DOEs should evaluate eligibility of properties within the context of a potential historic district (if applicable), as well as individual eligibility.

Submittals should indicate the reason(s) each resource meets or doesn’t meet the criteria and if certain criteria are not applicable to the resource, and address the seven aspects of integrity found in Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation.

April 2020 6

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist For guidance on applying all four NRHP criteria and seven aspects of integrity to archaeological sites, see the National Register Bulletin: Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Archaeological Properties.

For new DOEs, SHPO concurrence with the eligibility determinations is required. In some instances and through consultation with the SHPO, a federal agency may assume that a property or site is eligible for the purposes of a single undertaking. Please note, an agency may only assume eligibility if the resource will not be affected by the undertaking. If a resource is assumed eligible for a single undertaking, the resource remains officially unevaluated and may need to be formally evaluated in the future if it will be affected by a new undertaking. The SHPO must still provide concurrence for an agency to assume eligibility of a resource for a single undertaking.
 Each resource should be evaluated in its entirety, even if the undertaking will only have an effect on a portion of the resource. An exception can be made when evaluating individual segments of long linear resources, large landscapes, extensive functional systems, or large historic districts if deemed appropriate in consultation with the SHPO. Physical testing of archaeological sites should focus on areas subject to reasonably foreseeable effects of the undertaking and must be guided by a project- or site-specific research design. Areas of an archaeological site that are unlikely to be affected should not be tested unless compelling reasons to conduct such testing are explained in the technical reports.  Request the SHPO’s comments on the historic property identification and evaluation work that was completed for the undertaking.
 Request the SHPO’s concurrence on the results of NRHP evaluations (if any).

Section V: Finding of Effect
 Based on the above information, identify which ONE of the findings of effect applies to this undertaking: No Historic Properties Affected pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.4(d)(1); No Adverse Effect pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.5(b); or, Adverse Effect pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.5(d)(2). Note: Although it is necessary to determine how the undertaking will affect each historic property in the APE, only one finding of effect is made for the undertaking as a whole.
 Provide a justification for the finding of effect by assessing how the undertaking will affect each historic property in the APE, considering direct, indirect, and cumulative effects.
• To make a finding of No Historic Properties Affected, resources within the APE must have been evaluated and determined to be not eligible (with SHPO concurrence), or effects to historic properties must be completely avoided by the undertaking.
• To make a finding of No Adverse Effect, an analysis of the undertaking’s effects on all historic properties in the APE must be made by applying the criteria of adverse effect pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.5(a)(1) and examples provided at 36 CFR Part 800.5(a)(2). A finding of No Adverse Effect can only be made if the April 2020 7
Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *98

California Office of Historic Preservation - Section 106 Consultation Submittal Checklist effects to every historic property in the APE are less than adverse. This finding is appropriate when conditions, such as avoidance, protection measures, or monitoring, are imposed to ensure any effects are less than adverse. When the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties are being followed, explain in detail how the project meets all the applicable Standards such that effects are less than adverse.
• For findings of Adverse Effect, an analysis of the undertaking’s effects on all historic properties in the APE must be made by applying the criteria of adverse effect pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.5(a)(1) and examples provided at 36 CFR Part 800.5(a)(2). Adverse effects result when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register. The assessment of effect should explain why and how each historic property will be adversely affected. Explain what avoidance and minimization efforts were considered, which were adopted, and which were found to be infeasible and why.

Note: Further consultation will be required to resolve adverse effects if the SHPO concurs with a finding of adverse effects. If the undertaking results in an adverse effect, the agency will consult on an agreement document (Memorandum of Agreement or Programmatic Agreement) with consulting parties, including the SHPO and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), should the ACHP choose to participate. For more information about agreement documents, see the ACHP’s Guidance on Agreement Documents.

Re: Authorization to Allow Recipients of Community Project Funding / Congressionally Directed Spending Items to Initiate Consultation with the California State Historic Preservation Officer
Dear Ms. Polanco,
The U.S. Environmental protection Agency Region 9 (EPA) administers the Community Grants / Congressionally Directed Spending Items Program (formerly known as “earmark funding”).

Congress appropriates these funds (hereinafter referred to as “Community Grants”) for specifically named community water infrastructure projects in Appropriations Acts. Funding is provided under EPA’s State and Tribal Assistance account for these drinking water, wastewater, stormwater infrastructure, and water quality protection projects.

Projects carried out with assistance under Community Grants may have effects on properties included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Properties. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 54 U.S.C. § 300101 et seq., and its implementing regulations, 36 C.F.R. Part 800, require Federal agencies to consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties.

Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.2(c)(4), a Federal agency may authorize an applicant for Federal assistance to initiate consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) and others, provided that: (1) the Federal agency remains legally responsible for all findings and determinations charged to the agency official; and (2) the Federal agency notifies the SHPO/THPO when an applicant is so authorized.

In accordance with 36 C.F.R. § 800.2(c)(4), EPA hereby authorizes the entities listed in Attachment A to act on EPA’s behalf when initiating the NHPA consultation process in connection with EPA’s Community Grants. Should EPA modify or add to the list of names/project titles in Attachment A, it will notify the SHPO promptly by providing an updated list.

Effective immediately, the entities listed in Attachment A may consult with the SHPO in the State of California and other relevant parties to initiate the review process established under 36 C.F.R.

Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *100
2 Part 800 including identifying and evaluating historic properties, assessing effects, and proposing mitigation measures where necessary. However, EPA will remain responsible for participating in the consultation process when:
x The Community Grant applicant determines that the “Criteria of Adverse Effect” under 36 C.F.R. § 800.5 applies to an undertaking;
x There is a disagreement between the Community Grant applicant and the SHPO regarding the scope of the area of potential effects, identification of historic properties, or evaluation of effects;
x There is an objection from consulting parties or the public regarding findings or determinations or the implementation of agreed provisions; or x There is potential for a foreclosure situation or intentional adverse effects as described under 36 C.F.R. § 800.9(b) and (c).

In accordance with 36 C.F.R. § 800.2(c)(2), EPA shall ensure that all consultation with Indian Tribes is conducted in a sensitive manner respectful of all tribal sovereignty and the government-to-government relationship between the Federal government and Indian Tribes. This letter, therefore, is not intended to modify or limit such requirements nor mandate that Indian Tribes consult with grant applicants/ recipients.

Via email: [email protected]
Subject: Proposal for the Lomita Water System Improvements Project – NEPA Support Dear Ms. Howell:

Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) is pleased to provide this scope of work and cost estimate to the City of Lomita (City) to provide NEPA services in connection with the Lomita Water System Improvements Project (project). Rincon understands the Project has received a Federal Community Grant through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the project and thus is subject to the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The following proposal describes our understanding of the project and scope of work, our proposed approach, and our cost estimate for the assignment.

Project Understanding
Rincon understands the City is proposing to construct improvements to the existing city water system totaling approximately 6,000 linear feet at four locations along Narbonne Avenue, Walnut Street, Ebony Lane, and West 247th Place. Rincon assumed all construction activities would occur within the public right-of-way. Furthermore, it is our understanding that the City has received a Federal Community Grant through the USEPA to assist in financing the Project, which requires compliance with Section 106 of NHPA (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 800). This scope of work and cost estimate include tasks to assist the City with meeting Section 106, Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and NEPA requirements.

Scope of Work
The following sections present our scope of work to prepare the documentation required by USEPA for the proposed project pursuant to the requirements of the USEPA Community Grants program.

Task 1 SHPO Consultation
As required, cultural resources tasks will be completed under the direction of individuals meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology and/or history, as appropriate (36 CFR Part 61).

Task 1.1 Delineation of Area of Potential Effects
The Area of Potential Effects (APE) will encompass all geographic areas in which the Project has the potential to directly or indirectly affect the character or use of historic properties (36 CFR 800.16[d]).

As required by Section 106 (36 CFR 800.4(a)(1)), Rincon will prepare an APE map that delineates the areas where potential effects may occur, and that identifies properties with the potential to be affected Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *102
City of Lomita
Lomita Water System Improvements Project
2 by the undertaking. The APE map will include the proposed project footprint, encompassing the extent of the project and project-related components including staging areas, access roads, and the boundaries of any known cultural resources that intersect the project footprint. For the purposes of this project, Rincon assumes that the APE will be limited to the project footprint within the roadways of Narbonne Avenue, Walnut Street, Ebony Lane, and West 247th Place.

Task 1.2 California Historical Resources Information System Records Search Rincon will conduct a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) records search at the South Central Coastal Information Center that will encompass the APE and a 0.25-mile radius. The purpose of the records search is to identify previously recorded cultural resources and previously conducted studies within or in the vicinity of the APE. In addition, Rincon will examine the following databases of known cultural resources to identify historic properties and/or historical resources with the potential to be affected by the project: National Register of Historic Properties, California Register of Historical Resources, Built Environment Resources Directory, Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility, and California Historical Landmarks lists.

Task 1.3 Native American Outreach
As the lead federal agency, USEPA is required to comply with Section 106. On behalf of the City, Rincon will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to request a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search. The SLF search will indicate whether recorded Sacred Lands are present within the vicinity of the APE. The NAHC will provide a list of Native American contacts for the project from which Rincon will solicit additional information pertaining to the Native American sensitivity of the project.

On behalf of the lead federal agency, Rincon will email a letter to each of the NAHC-listed contacts on agency letterhead to see if they are aware of any Native American cultural resources within or immediately adjacent to the APE. Rincon will allow two weeks for review, then follow-up with each contact by telephone or email to document “good-faith” outreach efforts. A table documenting these efforts will be created and attached to the report in an appendix alongside an example email(s) and replies.

Please note, this outreach is intended to inform USEPA’s Section 106 process and does not constitute formal Section 106 consultation. No meetings or consultation are scoped as part of this task.

Task 1.4 Local Historical Group Outreach
In coordination with lead federal agency and as required by 36 CFR Part 800.4(a)(3), Rincon will contact one historical organization who may have knowledge of, or concerns with, historic period cultural resources in the APE. A table documenting these efforts will be created and attached to the report in an appendix alongside an example letter and replies.

Task 1.5 Cultural Resources Survey
Upon completion of the records search, a Rincon cultural resources specialist will conduct a pedestrian survey of accessible portions of the APE with exposed ground surfaces. For the purposes of this scope of work, Rincon assumes the survey will be negative for cultural resources. Should any cultural resources be identified during the survey, formal recordation or record updating on State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 (DPR) forms will be required and would require a scope amendment. No testing or excavation will be conducted, nor will any artifacts, samples, or specimens be collected during the survey. Rincon assumes that the survey will require one (1) field Tuesday, July 02, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *103
City of Lomita
Lomita Water System Improvements Project
3 day to complete by one (1) cultural resources specialists, including travel time, and there will be no access issues.

Task 1.6 Cultural Resources Assessment
Upon completion of the cultural resources survey, Rincon will prepare a Cultural Resources Assessment that will comply with Section 106 of the NHPA. The report will follow the guidelines for technical reports outlined by the California State Historic Preservation Office’s Archaeological Resource Management Report (ARMR). The report will provide environmental, historical, and cultural contexts for the APE and vicinity, outline the regulatory framework within which impacts to cultural resources will be analyzed, any previously recorded resources in the APE from the records search, present the methods and results of the archival research and field survey. The report will provide an assessment of the archaeological sensitivity of the project site, and the potential to encounter subsurface prehistoric or historic-period archaeological resources during construction. Rincon assumes that no historic properties are within the proposed project area, and that a finding of no historic properties affected, will be concluded in the report for the purposes of Section 106 of the NHPA and NEPA. Should the analysis identify historic properties a change order would be necessary to address potential adverse effects.

Additionally, Rincon will, on behalf of the City, draft and send a SHPO consultation letter summarizing the cultural study and requesting concurrence on the finding of effect.

Draft copies of the report will be submitted to the City for review and approval. Rincon assumes one (1) round of comments from the City. All deliverables will be provided in electronic format (PDF and/or Word). A copy of the final report will be filed with the SCCIC.

Task 1 Assumptions
Any changes to the Scope or Assumptions below may result in the need for an additional separate scope and fee estimate.
• The City will provide Rincon with a written project description, including the horizontal and vertical extent.
• The City will provide locational data for APE boundaries, which may include CAD and/or GIS data and/or KMZ files. This will be used to create the APE map. • Rincon assumes that SHPO’s review of the APE map and transmittal package will not exceed 30 calendar days.
• The CHRIS records search cost will not exceed $1,100 in direct expense. • The NAHC will provide the SLF search results and contact list within four to six weeks of Rincon’s request.
• This scope does not include costs to participate in formal Section 106 outreach meetings with tribal groups or local interested parties. This can be provided under a change order as determined necessary.
• No archaeological resources/buildings or structures/historic properties are within the APE that will require formal recordation or evaluation and no indirect effects analysis will be required. • This scope and cost estimate address Section 106 compliance only.

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires federal agencies to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) before funding, authorizing, or carrying out an action that may affect listed species or designated critical habitat.

However, based on preliminary review, the project location appears to be completely within developed City streets and is unlikely to require Section 7 consultation. Under this task, Rincon will obtain a list of protected species occurring in the project vicinity from the USFWS’ Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) service. We will then cross reference the list with the habitats and land cover present in the project area and create a table documenting each species’ potential to occur in the project area (high, moderate, low, or none). Methods and conclusions of the review will be presented in a memorandum, with the table included as an attachment. The memorandum will serve to document compliance with ESA Section 7 and may also be referenced in the Categorical Exemption and Extraordinary Circumstances Review Form prepared under Task 4.

Task 2 Assumptions:
• The review will be based on desktop analysis only. No field surveys will be performed. • The project site is developed, potential for each threatened or endangered species to occur will be low or none.

Task 3 NEPA Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) Checklist
Based on direction provided by the City and a review of USEPA’s implementing regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations 6.100-6.406), Rincon anticipates the appropriate level of NEPA documentation will be a CATEX. In support of this effort, Rincon will prepare the USEPA’s CATEX Checklist for the project and include supporting statements to discuss whether any of the “extraordinary circumstances” listed in 40 Code of Federal Regulations 6.204(b) are applicable to the project.

Task 3 Assumptions:
• USEPA will determine a CATEX is the appropriate level of NEPA documentation for the proposed project and will not require preparation of an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement.
• The CATEX Checklist will be prepared using the CEQA Notice of Exemption, Cultural Resources Assessment and a desktop review of other readily available online resources and documents. No additional fieldwork will be conducted in support of the CATEX Checklist. • Rincon will address one round of consolidated comments from the City to be provided in electronic, editable format. We assume revisions based on comments will be minor and will not require substantive changes.
• The CATEX Checklist will be submitted in electronic format; no hard copies will be provided.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Montserrate Gastelum, Administrative Analyst MEETING DATE: July 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Review Delinquent Solid Waste Charges and Authorizing and Directing the County Assessor to Approve Various Related Actions

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-27, authorizing and directing the County Assessor to setup a fund number with the County for Arakelian Enterprises (dba Athens Services); and include delinquent refuse charges for Athens Services as a special assessment for collection as part of the County tax collection process.

BACKGROUND
Arakelian Enterprises (dba Athens Services) serves as the City of Lomita’s exclusive franchise hauler and recycler of residential and commercial solid waste and organic waste. The Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) requires that all commercial businesses and residential dwellings subscribe to refuse collection services, and that payment for such services be made directly to Athens Services.

DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Section 5-3.20. (e)(3) of the LMC and under the current Agreement between Athens Services and the City, Athens Services is entitled to pursue action against delinquent accounts. Such action requires the City to request that the County Assessor place a Special Assessment against parcel properties for unpaid delinquent trash collection fees. If solid waste, recycling, and organic waste service fees and charges (and any applicable interest or penalties) are not paid within 60 days of the date payment was due, the delinquencies may be placed on the property tax roll for collection as set forth in Government Code section 38790.1 and other applicable laws. If trash collection fees are at least 60 days delinquent by July 1, 2024, the total sum of unpaid delinquent charges

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9a

2 and penalties for trash collection services, plus City administrative and assessment charges of $75, will be placed as a lien on the property. Athens will send the City a final delinquent account list on July 12,2024. Delinquent account holders have by close of business day on July 11, 2024 to pay Athens in order to rectify any past due amounts.

Athens has provided the City with a list of delinquent accounts for placement on the property owner's tax bills. With adoption of the attached resolution, a fund number will be set up by the County Assessor for purposes of including delinquent refuse charges due to Athens Services as a special assessment for collection as part of the County tax collection process.

Athens Billing Notification Process
Once a customer has a past due bill of 30 days, they are issued a reminder letter from Athens every month thereafter that they continue to maintain a past due balance. In addition, if a customer’s bill is still past due beyond that point, a collection message is included on subsequent Athens quarterly statements that reads, “Your account is delinquent, please contact our office.” The Athens phone number is on the invoice.

Initially only the billed customer/account holder receives these monthly/quarterly notifications (if different than the property owner). However, once Athens initiates the delinquent account process, the property owners are notified twice prior to the public hearing (in this case, May 2024 for first notification, then again in June 2024 through the public hearing notification).

Athens Services mailed out notification letters to the owner of record of each identified parcel with unpaid delinquent trash collection fees on June 18, 2024. A public notice was posted at City Hall and various public locations on June 14, 2024, and in the Daily Breeze newspaper on June 17, 2024.

Attached is the list of properties that have been provided by Athens Services as delinquent in payment of refuse collection fees as of June 28, 2024.

Notices were sent to the property owners on the attached list advising them of the Public Hearing scheduled for this evening.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact to the City is nominal. The City of Lomita would request that the County Assessor place delinquent past due amounts on the property tax rolls. Any past due amounts received would be remitted to Athens Services after subtracting the City’s administrative cost for processing.
